Guild Wars 2 is the sequel to the Guild Wars series of games by ArenaNet. Guild Wars 2 was released on August 28, 2012. It has been in development since 2006.
Many features have integrated into the game which align it with traditional MMORPGs, such as a persistent world and a level cap of 80, but the game has been described by ArenaNet as having non-traditional elements as well, because “it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun.”
Your story begins the moment you bring your character to life. When you create your character, you’ll choose from a range of biographical options that reflect their personality, history, and how they see the world. This biography will set you down a story path, which offers you choices to make. Your decisions will take the story in different directions.
The race you choose for your character determines which of the five massive home cities they’ll begin their story in. Your personal story will guide you through private, instanced chapters that explore your character’s life and adventures as they shape their own destiny. If you need a little help, you can always invite friends along to experience your personal story with you. As “guest stars,� these players can help you, but it’s still your story, and key decisions are yours to make
Guild Wars 2 provides players both the social, fully interactive feeling of a multiplayer game as well as the customized, choice-based story of a role-playing game. Whether the stakes are epic or personal, we want players to experience their own story within Tyria.
We’ve brought to life a massive world of events, storylines, and characters—all we need is you.

Other races are rising up, taking control over large portions of the world; the balance of power has shifted. The dragons have awoken. | |

I can see why it’s so popular but I just can’t seem fall in love with it or really get into it. I really want to, I do, bc I can’t really find ANY mmorpg that I can really obsess with. But that is just me. Imma still play it tho, it is really good and one of the best after all.
